Chapter 765

Penulis: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
With this explanation, Chase understood that his earlier struggle had actually helped him pass the trial, which was quite unexpected.

The old man with the gray beard paused for a moment, then continued, "Still, it's a bit disheartening. Several of us old men ventured into this secret realm hoping to find a breakthrough opportunity before our lifespans ran out, but we ended up dying here without achieving anything.

"This secret realm was ultimately left for you later generations to explore. Enough of the side talk. Let's get down to business.

"When you entered this secret realm, those behind you probably didn't tell you the whole truth, or maybe they weren't aware either. This realm didn't originally belong here. Back then, tokens suddenly fell from the sky one day.

"These tokens were the keys to entering this secret realm. Sensing that this place was more suitable for cultivation than Bactria, a few of us old folks used a little trick to force our way in.

"But once we entered, we

    Leia, on the other hand, sat alone on a hill. It was silent and desolate, surrounded by a bloody scene. She looked utterly miserable.Chase could not help but think more highly of Leia. This woman always wore a facade, willing to bear the vilest accusations just to hide her true self. She was a person with a strong inner strength.As Chase continued to observe Leia's illusion, the green field gradually shrank. Soon, the green field disappeared entirely, followed by the castle walls and then the great hall. Eventually, the entire castle vanished, replaced by a vast expanse of yellow sand.The five people slowly woke up, with Chase being the first to regain consciousness. He saw that they were all stark naked in the midst of the endless desert, with no trace of the green field or the castle. Chase knew that it was just as the old man with the gray beard had said—the old man had completely dissipated.Seizing the moment while the other four had not fully awakened, Chase quickly stor

    Thinking of this, the few of them broke out in a cold sweat."Who was the first to wake up?" Everett pressed on, still unwilling to give up."It seemed to be him," Leia pointed at Chase without hiding anything.Something like this could not be hidden. Even if she did not say it, it would have been deduced eventually."Chase, it's you again. Be honest, what did you get inside the castle?" Everett clearly suspected Chase of something."Don't go too far, Everett. So what if I was the first to wake up? What could I have gotten? If I had gotten something, wouldn't I have done something to you all when I woke up first? Or I could have just left first. Are you an idiot?" Chase retorted, silently thinking how quick this guy was to suspect him."That's because you're clever. If you had left first, we would've chased after you. In order to clear yourself of suspicion, you deliberately stayed with us. So, hand it over and let us see." It was not certain if Everett was just guessing or if he

    "Since that's the case, let's skip the talking and get to it. In the end, words are useless. What matters is our skills," Chase declared proactively."Don't blame us for ganging up on you, then," Everett responded first, launching his attack. With the illusions gone, their powers had been restored, and his stage-nine marquis cultivation flared out.Everett swiftly advanced. Bo, Immanuel, and Leia—not to be outdone—also attacked simultaneously, forming a four-cornered encirclement around Chase.When did marquis-level fighters become so common? Besides Bo, who was slightly weaker, Immanuel and Leia were stage-eight marquises of martial arts. Everett, of course, was a stage-nine marquis.Even when surrounded, Chase remained calm, not even bothering to use his weapon.He effortlessly countered their attacks with pure techniques. Before Lucas trained him, Chase might have struggled with such a formation. However, after Caspian went into seclusion and Lucas took over his training, Chase

    Seeing this, Bo shouted, "Leia, lend us a hand, or else none of us will escape death!"If Everett died here, that would leave only the three of them—two stage-eight marquises and Bo—against Chase. It would be a dead end.Thus, Leia also joined in. A red light flashed, and she emitted a mesmerizing aura.Finally, when Immanuel also joined the fray, the four of them together managed to fend off Chase's attack."Since you managed to block one of my moves, I'll spare you this time. But next time, I won't show any mercy," Chase warned before turning away and disappearing in an instant without looking back."Who would have thought that Chase's strength would be so terrifying?" Bo remarked, still shaken after Chase left. He wondered if his bet had been worth it. Had he been more resolute and sided with Chase, the outcome might have been different.Although he knew Chase was stronger, he had not realized just how overwhelmingly powerful he was. Chase was strong enough to handle all four

    Indeed, this excuse worked every time. Hearing that Chase was a hunter who had gotten separated from his tribe, the person guarding the area did not ask too many questions, perhaps out of sympathy or pity. After inquiring about his name, they gave Chase a sleeping spot and advised him to rest early.At dinnertime, the person warmly invited Chase to join them for dinner. They were roasting a large beast's leg over the fire, and Chase could not resist the man's hospitality. He followed him to the fire.Around the fire, seven or eight men were already waiting. Seeing Chase, they quickly made room for him to sit. As a token of gratitude, Chase discreetly retrieved two bottles of liquor from his storage space and shared them.He was always generous to those who showed him kindness.Listening to the men talk about interesting stories from far and wide, Chase found himself thoroughly enjoying their company and soon joined in the conversation. The atmosphere was lively and cheerful.After

    Although this place was located in the wilderness, the spiritual energy here was no less than that in the Dragon Vein Secret Realm. Chase absorbed the spiritual energy into his body, quickly entering a state of cultivation.Though the effect of absorbing spiritual energy was minimal for Chase, cultivation had always been about gradual accumulation. There was no such thing as overnight success.In the latter half of the night, a sudden chill woke Chase. He spread out his consciousness, scanning the area but finding nothing unusual. When he shifted his gaze, he finally spotted half a pale face with blood-red lips peeking out from behind a tent.The figure was a woman, strikingly noticeable against the backdrop of the wilderness. As soon as Chase looked over, the woman locked eyes with him. Her eyes moved stiffly, as if studying him.Chase stood up, planning to ignore the woman and warn the men in the tent. However, he noticed that his sleeping bag had inexplicably disappeared. Steppi

    The white-clad woman instantly stopped speaking and locked eyes with Chase. Meanwhile, the pool of blood around them slowly expanded, shrouding Chase in a blood-red mist that resembled a thick fog."Chase, don't be careless. This ghostly woman is the overlord of these desolate lands for miles around, known as the Bloodthirsty Preserver. It's said she was once a lover of a high-ranking figure in a tribe, who later abandoned her and tortured her to death."Her intense resentment transformed her into a vengeful spirit. Now, she preys on solitary travelers to absorb their light energy. It's strange, though. We've traveled this path many times and never encountered her before. I wonder why she appeared tonight?" said the leader of the merchants to Chase, alerting him.Chase slightly shrugged his shoulders, releasing a burst of true energy that instantly dispersed the blood mist around him.Sensing danger, the white-clad woman tried to dive back into the pool of blood to escape. Chase sw

    "You're spreading lies! When have I ever killed hundreds or thousands of people?" the woman retorted upon hearing the accusations against her."Chase, you must not listen to this ghost's deceitful words," one of the men pleaded."Yes, Chase, you must take action for us. If you weren't here today, we might have become her victims," added another, clearly convinced by the rumors they had heard."Have any of you actually seen this woman kill anyone?" Chase asked, trying to reason with the men. He did not want them to think he was simply using his strength to protect the woman.Seeing Chase defend her, the woman calmed down. She lowered her head and stayed silent."Well, no. We haven't seen it ourselves. It's all just hearsay," one man admitted reluctantly."There you have it. None of you have seen it with your own eyes. It's all based on rumors, which tend to become exaggerated. From my observations today, this woman had no intention of harming you. She was just quietly observing ne

    After all, Chase had to bring Yara along if they were really going to the Holy Path.Chase would not be able to hide it from them then. It was better to be honest with them from the start."What? He needed something from you? Will he come over to see you tonight?" Willow's question had Lisa and Walter exchanging a glance.Chase had no idea how to respond. "What are you thinking, Willow? Sweep those dirty thoughts out of your mind."He berated Willow.Willow realized what she had just said and quickly apologized. "Oh, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask what you meant by him needing your help."Chase sighed. "To put it in a nutshell, Yara has phoenix bloodline and requires the Light Divine Pearl's help to receive the Rising powers of the Phoenix Deity. He knows that I have hope of getting the Light Divine Pearl, which is why he came to me."Willow and Walter were stunned."The Phoenix Deity? Isn't that one of the Five Major Demon Saints who holds the same standing as th

    "An old acquaintance?" There was murder in Carla's eyes."It's someone from long ago. I thought she was dead. I didn't expect her to still be alive, or rather, this could be her descendant." Fallon's mind moved quickly as he tried to squeeze any excuse he could from his mind."Why haven't I heard you talk about this old acquaintance before?" Carla was suspicious. However, Fallon had never lied to her before. At least, she had never caught him lying before. She was not entirely sure if he was telling lies right now."You know how the Nefarious Deity Sect would sometimes discover unique and powerful monsters whenever we visualize Nefarious Spirits or tame dark beasts. Yara Fries looks very much like a human-form monster I discovered with phoenix bloodline."She refused to bow down to me. Since I could not have her, I killed her. I was not as powerful then, and I had a hard time trying to kill her. I was relegated to using despicable methods in the fight. That's why I… lost my calm whe

    However, the rules did not state that fighters were not allowed to admit defeat, which was why the referee ruled that Chase had won.Most elites in the spectators did not know the Fries family well, but they still came forward to ask about the fight. Some of them went off to watch other fights with a sorry look or a look of disdain on their face.Carla, who was seated at the very top, said, "Interesting.""Why would you say that?"Fallon, who had been looking forward to watching a descendant of the Phoenix Deity in action, was feeling upset about the outcome. He asked the question when he heard Carla's comment."They were putting up an act," Carla said with a smile."Huh? Wouldn't that be rigging a fight? What are you smiling about?" Fallon felt angrier after hearing her explanation. He was the one in charge of the tournament, and they were rigging a fight right under his nose. That was disrespectful to the city lord."Didn't he organize this tournament to find out more about thi

    "Huh. I didn't expect you to know so much." Yara was surprised."Of course, I know stuff." Chase felt a little proud about it but quickly said, "You should hurry up. There are a lot of people waiting out there.""Alright. I'll make it quick."The Holy Path is a relic of the calamity years ago. As for the ninth level, it was created by the Light Divine Pearl to protect himself by fusing pieces of the world collected from every corner of the universe."Currently, the Holy Path on the sixth level leads directly to the sealed location where the Light Divine Pearl's true form is. The Light Divine Pearl's image projection on the ninth level is where he is able to use most of his powers."Something happened while he was fusing the ninth level. The maximum cultivations on each level are different, and the Light Divine Pearl's image projection is unable to merge with his true form."That's why he used the body refinement of the Divine Order's Flame to leave a mark on you to help you pass t

    "What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the

    Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen

    "History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon. Tiana stared at him, not knowing what to say next.The Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land had not only fought with her talents yesterday but also with her hard work.When Tiana first entered Emerald Lake Holy Land, her master told her that her talents were upper-middle at best. She was considered extremely lucky to be accepted to the sect.Emerald Lake Holy Land was one of the top five sects in this world. It was second only to Sky Dragon Holy Land among the Four Holy Lands.

    Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth
